术语,在特定专业领域中一般概念的词语指称,是凝集一个专业领域知识的关键词。它是传播科学知识、促进科学研究的有力工具,对一个专业的发展是一项重要的基础性工作。术语随科学的发展而发展,在社会经济活动中发挥着重要的作用。随着农业工程的发展,新机器、新技术、新概念大量涌现,必须用科学的、规范的方法定义、指称这些概念。惟其如此,业内才有共同的语言,才有展开真正学术意义上讨论的可能。 Terminology, a term referring to a general concept in a particular field of specialization, is a key word that aggregates a field of expertise. It is a powerful tool to spread scientific knowledge and promote scientific research. It is an important basic work for a professional development. Terminology develops with the development of science and plays an important role in socio-economic activities. With the development of agricultural engineering, new machines, new technologies and new concepts have emerged. They must be defined and claimed in scientific and normative ways. Only in this way can there be a common language in the industry to start the discussion in a truly academic sense.
